I have lot of kernel (2.6.24 ,26, 28 ,30) installed on the machine. All the kernel except 2.6.30 recognises an SD card when I insert a SD card into the slot. Any ideas? I tries Code: modprobe sdhci . But it did not help. Thanks in Advance. Tony

But in my case it is the other way round.. All the older kernels support SD(24, 26, 2

But the newest one 2.6.30 seem to have problem. If I have not built to support module, would I be able to modprobe sdhci and mmc? I checked the config file and shows

Code:

CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=m

. Would it be possible to update and rebuild the kernel I am alraedy using?
